I don't know how to explain...its gtk interface doesn't look the same as the
others gtk programs that links to the system gtk library...it seems like a bit
more rudimental ...like and old gtk 1 interface.....(don't know how to explain
here maybe a screenshot would help). As I have no precedent experience with
compilation of gtk programs...do I need to specify some particular compile time
option to gtk to have the interface looks the same as the modern one I see on
all other "xfce" debian programs (I'm trying to compile xfce terminal 0.4)?

thanks again
